save it for another day

Sunday, 10 August, 2003 at 12:59 pm

Woo. New layout. Don’t know how I feel about it … ^^’ Don’t know if it’s a sunrise or a sunset. :b And the blob-y thing-y is the shape of a moth I took a picture of … yeah … ._. So it’s up in the air! Erm, how I feel about my layout, not the moth.

Got tired of changing everything, so … all the subpages and stuff probably look a little off. Although I doubt people look at those things. Oh well. Greymatter is getting on my nerves. ^^;; Yupyup. See … usually I remember to uncheck the “Automatically rebuild all files” option after editting the sidebar … but then this time I didn’t … so I lost a few minutes waiting for everything to rebuild. x_x;; And I keep getting “Cannot find server” pages after changing something. I’m pretty sure it has to do with my site being on a Windows server instead of Linux. Windows doesn’t like cgi much, or something … or you can’t set permissions with files. Yeah … I forget. Oh well.

I was gonna use SSI to put in the sidebar, but then I looked at my stats and it says 10 people have visited this site (this index page) using Netscape 3. o_o;;; But then again, the sidebar isn’t that important. So maybe I’ll switch it tomorrow. :) Let’s just hope no one’s been linking to fs.net/index.html.

Also found out, looking at my extreme tracker, that someone found this site looking for “de-hooved horses.” o_O I figured out where it came from (NOFX’s lyrics ^^;;), but still … it’s a weird thing to be searching for … Ooh! And from the 18th of July to the 27th I got an average of 4 hits per day, then from the 28th to the 4th of August I got an average of 22, then 10 on the 5th :( then 46 the next day. Wooo. :b Did SM00/Adam/Amanda have some thing going on or what?

Now, to close this entry, a link to pictures of Lizzie Borden’s dad and stepmom. ‘Cause SM00 told me to put dead people on my blog and I said I’d link to some pictures. :b

computer, floats, site stuff, a poem

Wednesday, 6 August, 2003 at 10:58 pm

Hm. How interesting. I left my laptop to eat dinner, and when I came back the screen was black, as that’s the screensaver I prefer. I touch the touchpad and the screen switches to a lighter shade of black. Yupyup. It meant my screen went blank. So I took out the battery and unplugged the ac adapter. As I unplugged it my laptop went “MEEEEEEW!” in a high-pitched tone, fading away at the end. O.o Is my laptop trying to talk to me again? (One time Daddy was trying to print something from my laptop and it said something like, “The printer cannot be found” even though I had the sound turned off. o.o) But anyway. Isn’t it stupid that my screen goes blank when I’m not even using it? >_< Grrrr.

Today went to Burger King with Mommy and got frozen floats. Woo, yummy! :D It’s half Icee and half ice cream. A real float. XD And it’s yummyy!! It costs $1.59 though. x_x

Also ordered from Amazon tonight. Finally! I got The Cardigans’ You’re the Storm single with Hold Me on it, yaay!, Flower Drum Song by C. Y. Lee, Veronika Decides to Die by Paulo Coehlo, Chobits vol. 7, and “Prelude and Nocturnes” (Sandman book 1). w00t. :D Yes, I seem a bit obsessed with Neil Gaiman, don’t I? Fuuun. ^-^

*ahem* Yeah. Site stuff: I am stuck on what else to write for SMC. o_o I’ve got “background,” “Christ,” and “personality.” Not much in personality, either. -.- Ahaha! Uhh … yeah. I do mean the section I’m writing, not me. :b I don’t know what else to write about. It’s been such a long time since I started this remake that I forgot all the sections I wanted to do. ^^;;;

Concerning the IAT layout: trying to figure out why the placement of things changes when the size of the browser window changes. O_o And also, as soon as I get around to it, I’ll put up a new layout here. ^^;; I feel like making a traditional blog layout complete with sidebar and such. Go me. :b

Now to close this, a poem Neil Gaiman wrote entitled (I assume), “Reading the Entrails: A Rondel”

They’ll call it chance, or luck, or call it Fate—
The cards and stars that tumble as they will.
Tomorrow manifests and brings the bill
For every kiss and kill, the small and great.
You want to know the future, love? Then wait:
I’ll answer your impatient questions. Still—
They’ll call it chance, or luck, or call it Fate,
The cards and stars that tumble as they will.

I’ll come to you tonight, dear, when it’s late,
You will not see me; you may feel a chill.
I’ll wait until you sleep, then take my fill,
And that will be your future on a plate.
They’ll call it chance, or luck, or call it Fate.

layouts, games, and book shopping

Sunday, 27 July, 2003 at 2:20 am

Ummm … *is in the middle of changing the layout* Lookie, mah birthday prezzie from Noelle. :D:D:D:D So cool! Pun not intended. ^^;;; Kawaii kitty, no?

Oh yeah, the Japanese reminds me. When we were coming home there was a commercial on the radio for some new store. This isn’t the whole name, just the part I remember. :b I heard them say “The Shishi Store.” I was sitting there thinking I must have heard it wrong, and then Daddy said, “Did they just say The Shishi Store?” ^_^;;;;;; So hah! I didn’t imagine it! XP And uhh … I don’t wanna explain. >.>; *moves along*

Today I followed Mickey to his room and asked if I could play with the GCN. We played Tetris Worlds. :D Weird setup, though … it’s kind of like, how far can you stray from the simple game of stacking tetraminos while still stacking tetraminos? And for some reason, I kept landing blocks one space off from where I meant them to go. >.< Annoying. He kept goading me. ^^;;; I’m not very good at Tetris anymore … *sniffles* I was always two or so levels behind him. Pooh.

After we played two or three neverending games @_@ (Mickey: When does this end? Me: Now. *quits*) we played The Sims. Bwahaha, I’m one level higher than he is in our house. >b He kept poking fun at me because of my bathroom though. >.> (Mickey: Who has the cleaner bathroom? Me: At least I don’t have flies flying around my toilet! Mickey: Those are your pet flies. They’re by your room. Me: Yeah well at least my bathroom doesn’t stink.)

Went to Barnes and Noble. *.* Their manga/comic section can look pretty nice when it’s cleaned up. Of course, it’s still only two shelves worth of space, but better than nothing. Everything was all out of order. I would have straightened it out (my fingers were just itching to put everything in order), but I was carrying food from Tony Roma’s, and plastic is loud when other people are reading. o.o

Got this one manga, forget what it’s called, read about it in my Waldenbooks e-mail thingimabobber. It’s “controversial.” :b Also got Kare Kano 3 (dunno why, not that into the series), Neil Gaiman’s Smoke and Mirrors (waiii!), Why Girls Are Weird (about this girl who posts made-up diary entries online, and what happens because of it o.O), aaaand … The Art of Charles Schultz. w00t! XD $25. o_o But it’s Charles Schuuultz! It has his older comics and stuff. Mommy says they’re not as funny. But they’re cute. Yup! ^-^

I spent, in total, $81.11. ._. Okay, new rule. No wandering around bookstores after I’ve got two or three or four books! x_x

Spent the rest of the night working on my First Band on the Moon fanlisting. Woo! :D I was working on the Other Side of the Moon fanlisting, but then I got tired of coding/writing, so I went to look at Noelle’s present. X) And it led me here. Muahaha.

I changed the coding a bit, though. Put the entries in a div tag, instead of in an inline frame. (Used frames for L.S layout, don’t wanna do that again any time soon. x_x)

Oh yeah. :D New layout at Literal Scars. Woo! Dunno how good it is though. I always tend to like my really not-so-normal stuff, and then it turns out that there’s something wrong with it. :( Oh well. Poem! (on the layout) “I need to have loved you. I need to have told you so.” Whyyy can’t I write like that?

Oh yeah. Went to this person’s writing site. I like her poems. ^^; All three she’s got up there. Especially the first one. ^^ Kind of makes me want to create my own writing site (one separate from my art). But I don’t have nearly enough of anything for it.

Anyway, anyway … now on to fixing up the tagboard for the layout. And after that I think I’ll leave the OSOTM fanlisting for when I wake up.

Animatrix, the New Tetris, and the Sims

Sunday, 13 July, 2003 at 11:48 pm

Stayed up til 2:30 last night watching The Animatrix. Gehehe. I loved the animation. ^__^ But I didn’t get much of the stories. Partly because I had the volume turned down low, and partly because I haven’t seen the Matrix movies. ^^;;;

“The Final Flight of the Osiris” used computer animation, like the Final Fantasy movie. And “Kid’s Play” used animation that’s quite different. Looks sketchy, or like they left the pencil marks in, or … I dunno. I rather liked it. I don’t really remember the rest. ^^;;;

Today I spent almost an hour playing The New Tetris. ^___^ Except I really stink at Tetris lately. ¬_¬ First game I got like 400 lines, second I forget, 460? And third I was just trying to get our needed lines below 65,000, so I just got 270. x_x Augh.

Hidek played The Sims on the Gamecube with my neighbor. He was “Ozzy” and Hidek was “Dude.” My neighbor said, “Don’t put their rooms right next to each other, that’s gay!” o_o;;; When I went into his room again, Hidek said, “See how lazy he [neighbor] is? He’s got doors going directly from his bedroom to the bathroom, the kitchen, and the living room!” Hahaha. And my neighbor walked into the bathroom while Hidek was on the toilet >.> so Hidek walked in on him when he was in the bath, saying, “At least when you’re in the bathtub you won’t get out.” :b

Thefanlistings.org is down. :( I’m left out in the cold! Wahhh!!! *ahem* >.>;; It’s one less thing that I could be doing. Of course, I could be working on Elsewhere (for some reason I just stopped), SMCasmin (I worked on it a bit yesterday; I have one section written, and the beginning of another), or Midnight Rendezvous (I’m thinking about just making it generally about books; anything I want to put up there concerning me and books). But no, of course not. I made another livejournal for myself for quizzes and surveys. ^^;;; I dunno why. I don’t know if I’ll even use it for that long. I don’t even know how to change colors or anything. :( But it’s here, anyway.

don’t you start

Friday, 27 June, 2003 at 12:36 pm

Hidek was downstairs watching TV (I figured out afterwards it’s because Daddy was doing something on our compi), and reading the 5th Potter book. So first he was watching this thing on G4 about some gaming convention … I forget what it was called … maybe it was E3 … they were showing people going in, Brittany Murphy, the three people from Charmed … yeah, that’s all I saw.

At 9:30 he watched South Park. I dunno what episode it was. But I heard the themesong. :) So then at 10:30 he was watching x-Men Evolution, and because I had to clean up Shadow’s barf, I instead sat down and started watching. XP;

They showed a commercial for Inu Yasha. I wish I could see that. The reason I can’t is because … I don’t seem to have the patience to sit and watch TV lately. Even last Friday, when Mickey and Daddy (both at separate times :b) told me there was a new episode of Monk on, I was still debating at ten whether I would watch it. But I watched it. ^___^

“You just mixed the decaf with the caffeine.”
“But they’re even.”
“But they’re mixed together.”
“But they’re even.”
“But … they’re mixed together.”
“But … …. they’re even.”

XDDD

Oh yeah. Earlier this week Eight Men Out was on IFC again. Half an hour into it. I didn’t watch it. And I just realized I haven’t been watching .hack//SIGN lately. O_< I think I’ve seen 5 or 6 episodes total … *sigh* And like I said, earlier today I wanted to watch movies all day long. But now I’m back to my impatient-with-tv mood.

Oh well. I also put up the fanlisting for The Cardigans’ fourth album, [Gran Turismo (link to fl)]. w00t! XD But I didn’t get the fanlisting for Long Gone Before Daylight. WAHHHH!!!! *anime face with rivers of tears flowing out* And I’m trying to get myself to build other fanlistings I have in mind. All of them which will probably not be popular and therefore not get many, if any (… I have no idea how else to say that O.o), people joining.

Last thing: UGH. I don’t know if I’m the only one who applied to The Cardigans fanlisting (hopefully not; hopefully they’re more popular than that), or if my application didn’t go through, or … WHAT. But UGH. Why she no update? T-T And a lot of other fanlistings that don’t seem to update … ¬_¬ But mainly the Cardigans one, because I WANTED THAT FANLISTING!! *sighs* Oh well. Really. I wouldn’t mind not getting it, if only she’d UPDATE! >.> *hopes she doesn’t get in trouble for anything she said* <.< *scurries off*
